Holy why did nobody tell me it was Kino

it's all a shill my maln1ggers and pseudo-intellectuals to hate on popular shows. this anime mogs all the modern anime to the oblivion. but if only we got to see more of aincard and more of mmos after the ep14, instead of the alo arc. it would've been a masterpiece and a classic to look up to

>>281189523
also, alicization is where sao peaked

It is pretty decent, but I personally cannot get into VRMMO themed isekai, although I didn't have much of an issue getting into .hack//sign. Don't rely on reviews too much to make an opinion of something.

>>281189419 (OP)
This is a very enjoyable show most of the time. Bitter vitriolic retards pretend that it's worse than it is.

It would also be better if the sex scene was kept in and not cut out of Aincrad.

Is funny how this anime that was considered garbage back when it released in 2012 now is a 9/10 compared to the garbage that is airing today
It really puts in perspective how bad is modern anime

>It really puts in perspective how bad is modern anime
Modern anime is plagued by disgusting 3dcg. CSM had full 3dcg fights. At least SAO was mostly 2D and the 3dshit was relegated to the background. It really shows the decline in anime.

for me its Lisbeth

It was slop back then, it's still slop now.

>the sex scene
didn't kirito put his dick in Asunas ear in the light novel?
I remember he was a turbo virgin before meeting her and had no idea what to do

>>281189419 (OP)
Because it's slop? Why would we lie to you?

the source material is a light novel, thats probably why, filters out a LOT of weebs.
anime is alright tho

>>281189523
Absolutely. SAO rules.

Kirito being a vegetable being the peak of the series says a lot. about it.

>>281189419 (OP)
Because unfortunately this board (and most of 4chan) is hard-wired with the idea of popular = bad, which is not always true.
SAO is pretty solid and you would have to be a clown to deny the tremendous influence it had on the industry.

>>281189631
The thing I like about the vrmmo aspect is that it grounds the character in the real world.
When Kirito was challenged in the real world, he couldn't do anything.

>that absolutely rushed and nonsensical S1 ending
Fuck off.

SAO was always good. The series peaks at alicization.

Nah, you just have nostalgia.

>>281195096
It wasn't really nonsensical, rushed sure

>>281196242
No, modern anime is actually that garbage

>>281196271
explain how kirito was able to move after the god damn creator of the game with his system cheats put him in paralysis

>>281189523
Pseuds and midwits on /a/ and youtubers like Digibro and Mother's Basement poisoned the well for many series.

>>281196371
Not really. These posts praising SAO at the expense of a vague idea of "other anime" are, frankly, dumb and retarded.
Nobody is actually stating why SAO is good, they're just saying 'these other things are bad'. It's a canned defense that isn't reliant on actually explaining why the thing is good and presents an agreeable, easy to digest premise to other fans.

>>281196509
Just like speedrunners skip entire levels and blockers, by glitching the game :^)

>>281196371
You're being hysterical

>>281196623
Sounds like you haven't had fun watching anime for a while

>>281196714
Had plenty of fun actually. From Spring and Summer there's been plenty of good, fun anime.

This entire thing should've been just about climbing the tower in s1 with kirito and asuna slowly developing their relationship (without the stupid AI girl). Such an easy formula for a great story but they had to turn it into yet another generic harem anime with incest included and even change into a different game that didn't even have the risk of dying irl, so stupid.
